The importance of a well-functioning IT infrastructure is critical to the health of any business. These days it is impossible to imagine a successful business that does not rely on technology to keep it functioning. Reliability is a must to keep any business efficient and competitive.
Your business has likely contracted with an IT support company or a Managed Services Provider (MSP) to manage its IT needs, keep things running smoothly and respond when support is needed. Regular maintenance and upkeep are the foundation of IT support, but the critical part for your business comes with the quality and effectiveness of responses when unexpected support needs arise.
Ask yourself this: When you call in to get help with something from your IT support/MSP, how many people do you talk to before you get your issue resolved? How many times do you have to explain your issue? How many technicians have you interacted with more than once and how knowledgeable were they regarding the overall state of your business’s IT setup?
Large businesses may not have a choice but to use an IT support/MSP provider with rotating staff to efficiently respond to all their requests. On the other hand, small- and medium-size businesses have the opportunity to have personalized IT support/MSP that fits the needs of their business. They do not have to explain the entire setup of their business and the specific issue each time someone calls in with a problem. They do not have added downtime or frustration as a result of dealing with someone different each time they contact their IT support/MSP.
The best IT support/MSP experience is not based on technical prowess alone, but on the ability to build and maintain relationships with the clients themselves. If you really know your IT support/MSP, you know who you’re calling before you even dial the number. You can trust that they know you and your business and will be able to help translate your issue into the technical jargon needed to isolate and resolve it. You know exactly who to go to when you have a question and you can trust that their answer will take your personal needs into account. It’s a huge difference from rolling the dice with a large or faceless IT company.
